Incredible meal

Absolutely enjoyed every morsel of my BREAKFAST TOFU WESTERN WRAP! It was a large portion so I had leftovers for dinner and it was still phenomenally delicious! I can't wait to go back as there are so many options I want to try, although to be honest I would eat that wrap 3 times a day indefinitely!!! A huge surprise to have a whole vegan menu to complement their main menu. A hidden gem for sure and you can gather with all your non vegan friends & family (as there are options for them too) and know you have a huge variety of incredible choices!!!

Pros: Outrageously delicious!, Huge selection of vegan food for breakfast, lunch , Huge restaurant so no wait for a table!

Decent

Went there for breakfast and had the big vegan breakfast. It was ok. The pancake was oddly tough, the tofu scramble was ok, the hash browns were good, the sausage was ok. Saying it came with fresh fruit is hilarious because there was one tiny orange slice. They only had almond milk for my coffee. It was good overall, not great. It is nice to see vegan breakfast options though - they’re certainly rare.

Touchdown for Tastebuds

Sports bar with a separate vegan menu what more can you ask for?! The food was amazing, the atmosphere was great, this hot hamburger and poutine is a must try!

Great Vegan Menu

Hometown has a great vegan menu. Good restaurant to pick while going out with omni friends.

The Tofu Benedict is great. The sauce is beyond delicious!

Recently tried the western tofu scramble wrap and cauliflower wrap. Both tasty and big portions!

amazing vegan food menu

we were in ottawa on a vacay for our anniversary and went here multiple nights. we loved the canadian brewhouse from our area before we were vegan, so to find a restaurant with a similar vibe where you could watch the oilers kick the flames out of the playoffs and enjoy a great menu. the prices were a little on the pricier side, but when paired with their specials (we got nachos half off) you felt like it was a steal of a deal. if we could pay a reasonable price to get food delivered from here to alberta we totally would haha.

p.s we were told that they made half the menu vegan because the owners son was vegan !!

Pros: lots of vegan options , amazing specials , DEEP. FRIED. OREOS

Cons: on the pricier side

Amazing sports bar, extended Vegan Menu and good service

A birthday celebration and the birthday girl chose this for the family. The staff is amazing and the place quite big and suitable for a bigger crowd as well.
All seven of us ordered a vegan meal. We stated with Cauliflower wings. The two orders disappeared within couple of minutes of coming to the table, which meant all of us loved it (& we were starving). The fries that came with many meals - very well made. Super crisp, soft inside. The fries quantity in all a bit less we thought.

Vegan Philly Jack Sandwich - the jackfruit had good smoky flavour but a bit low on spice

Vegan Greek Gyro - the pita super fresh and soft. The roasted potatoes hit the spot as well. Fluffy inside.

Vegan Hometown Wrap - Good wrap, needed some more spice. The vegetables fresh inside.

Vegan Club Sandwich - Nicely stacked. Well cooked vegan impossible patty and fresh toppings. The Cheeze good.

Vegan All Fay Breakfast - good rye toast, and hash brown and vegan breakfast links and tofu scramble although very good that needed a bit more spice and increase the quantity.

Vegan Sausage Penne - the pasta perfectly cooked, the mushrooms and onions good. The sauce good but it bit too less for the pasta. The garlic bread needed more garlic.

A bit too expensive all in, but the service was great and great atmosphere.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Large team can be accommodated

Cons: Not cheap, Some dishes have not enough quantity

Vegan Pub Food /Breakfast. 5/5 but since they serve meat happy cow won’t let me

This is the best Vegan Pub food in Ottawa. You can get a vegan breakfast that is to die for and there are so many amazing lunch and dinner options where I have not tried one I did not like. Fav is the chiken Buffalo wrap and the Nachos.

Pros: A must try for Vegans, Best Pub Vegan food

So many options!

I love this place! It’s such a relief to eat here with non-vegans and vegans alike, because there are so many menu options. I haven’t explored the menu as much as I’d like but it’s extensive! I will say that the first time I got the vegan cheesecake it was AMAZING. like the best I’ve ever had. Since then I’ve had two that tasted slightly gone off though… maybe a recipe change, maybe a less frequently ordered item that sits around… not sure but just thought I’d flag it.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Very extensive menu, Great for eating with non-vegans

Cons: Expensive, Cheesecake tastes weird lately, Sports bar type atmosphere isn’t for everyone

Expanded vegan menu!

I’ve been coming to hometown since I became vegan (2 years) and it’s always had a good vegan menu, but went back in March 2022 and they’ve expanded it!

The vegan chicken finger platter is AMAZING (beyond chicken, I think) and is on for $10 for 7 pieces on Saturdays! The wings are also great. Maybe better than the chicken fingers. They’re in special on Tuesdays.

Boyfriend had the Greek meal and impossible tacos and loved both!

So many good options, it’s difficult to decide!

Impressive vegan menu!

Despite not being a veg place, their vegan menu is great. Tons of stuff and quite creative, including vegan fish and chips (not sure if they still offer that)! For Thanksgiving 2018, they had a separate vegan buffet that was incredible.

Excellent vegan menu!

This place is a hidden gem! They have a very extensive vegan menu, reasonable prices, generous portions, friendly staff, cheap cocktails, and lots of screens to watch sports. What's not to love?!

I had the vegan buffalo chick'n wrap which was delicious. It came with a choice of side too. I would highly recommend this place and I'll definitely be back! Can't wait to try the other vegan menu items.

Pros: Extensive, tasty vegan menu, Cheap cocktails, Decent prices and big portions

Excellent Vegan Options

Hometown Grill has a whole menu full of incredible vegan options!! I love eating here and the food is tasty and always comes in good portions. If you’re eating out with non veg family members, this restaurant is the perfect choice for you, because everyone will be happy. I wish they had more than one location!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Tasty food, Accommodating to allergies

Vegan option sports bar

Hometown is a great pub vibe with a full vegan menu. The breakfast was delicious (got the Tofu Benny with a side plate of home fires). We were there during a busy brunch rush and the staff were still very attentive with coffee refills and checking up on tables. Went with a non-vegan friend and they said their breakfast was great as well so will definitely return for great meat and meatless options. Side note: you can buy a dozen of their vegan mini muffins to go and they were so yummy for snacks later!

Pros: Clear vegan menu, Great breakfast/brunch prices, Mini muffins

Good Food

Food was great, full vegan menu and staff are well versed. Big place indoors with patio outside. Portions are good. Just not a fan of all the styrofoam takeout containers and plastic cutlery. Probably won’t do takeout again until I can eat in just because of how much waste getting takeout form here makes.

Full vegan menu!

They have so many options here. Awesome job with the vegan menu. They even have full vegan brunches and buffets for special holidays.
Lots of tvs too. Eat a beyond burger and watch the game with a beer. Great for friends or family groups.

And you get a discount with a VegOttawa membership card!

One of our favourite hang outs.

Serious vegan comfort food. I probably go once a month and tried most of their vegan menu (plus desserts)...delicious and filling!

I believe they have a dedicated vegan portion to their kitchen and friers.

Pros: Full vegan menu, Brunch menu too, Vegan fish and chips is sooo tasty!

Cons: Sometimes loud (sports bar)

YUM!!!!

I would rate this 5 stars if I could, but Happy Cow won't let me...

The food is phenomenal. A bit pricey, but definitely worth it. There is a dedicated vegan area in the kitchen so no chance of cross-contamination.

Had the vegan poutine, quesadillas, and "fish" and chips. Everything was perfect! Great balance of tasting like the real thing while not grossing me out (I'm the type to get grossed out by too-realistic meat textures). The vegan cheese was melty, stretchy, ooey-gooey goodness. Definitely returning. Would leave pics...but ate everything too fast.

Pros: Delicious, Dedicated vegan cooking area

Cons: A bit loud (to be expected from a sports bar), Somewhat pricey (again, worth it)

One of the best Brunches I've had... Vegan or otherwise

Took the boyfriend to Hometown for brunch and WOW!. We are new to plant based eating and have so far had to "settle" for menu options. In our opinion, Hometown has outdone some pure Vegan restaurants. We weren't settling, we were enjoying an amazing brunch. Their Eggs Benny and homefries were AMAZING. The Tacos my BF had were delicious, flavourful and even the sauce was something I'd kill to make.

We are DEFINITELY coming back for dinner sometime. Can't believe its so close to my house!

Pros: Real, flavourful food!

Uneducated Staff - Served Dairy 😕

Went with friends and family in July when traveling and all of the adults ordered off of the vegan entree menu. Unfortunately the dessert menu we were given wasn’t strictly vegan, unbeknownst to me. I ordered the warm cookie which came with coconut whip and the waiter came back and told us they were out of whip so they were substituting ice cream. We went back the next day for dinner and when it came time for dessert, our waitress told us they were out of the whip and don’t have any vegan ice cream options. We told her about our previous night and she was very apologetic. The vegan food was delicious but when the staff aren’t properly educated about veganism, it leaves too much room for mistakes. So if you go here, you should repeatedly ask and clarify that menu items are indeed vegan.

An unexpected pleasure

*** UPDATE *** Hometown Sports Grill now has a Vegan breakfast menu as well.
I'm only a few items into it so far but it's great.
****************
It was an unexpected pleasure to discover that one of my favorite sports bar and grill locations was going to add a Vegan menu.
Turns out the owners family had recently, thru one of the sons, discovered the benefits of a vegan diet and announced the plan to add vegan options which I have found to be truly unusual in this type of establishment.

After a few months of anxiously watching the menus the vegan menu is finally here and it certainly does not disappoint. A number of selections that many members of the Ottawa vegetarian society have been raving about.
I personally have tried a few items from the menu so far and they are truly delicious which will keep me coming back for more.

My wife admitted she could not believe that the Vegan burger was vegan. The homemade sauce was incredible and as for the Chocolate Mousse cake ... well ... it's just downright addictive!!

It is just such a treasure to have an establishment that I can go to with any of my friends where we can all eat what we want and enjoy one another's company.

I would be rating this establishment a full 5 stars if the Happy Cow would let me.
